Head coach of St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) Senior Men’s National Football Team, Vincy Heat, Ezra Hendrickson, has resigned to pursue another opportunity.
The SVG Football Federation announced the resignation on Saturday, saying Hendrickson “indicated that he has received and accepted a professional opportunity, which has necessitated his departure from the role.
“The SVGFF Administration has accepted his resignation and expresses sincere appreciation for his service, professionalism, and commitment to the development of the Senior Men’s National Team programme,” the SVGFF said in a press release.
In accordance with the terms of his agreement, the recently concluded Under-20 Men’s assignment effectively served as his final engagement with the federation, the release said.
In the interim, Wade Jackson, first assistant coach of the Senior Men’s National Team, has been appointed interim head coach and will lead the national programme during this transition period.
Jackson will guide the SVG national football team in the upcoming CONCACAF Series Friendlies in Bonaire, where the team is scheduled to face the Bonaire national football team on March 26 and the Barbados national football team on March 29.
“The SVGFF Administration has commenced discussions and the process of identifying a permanent replacement to lead the Senior Men’s National Team moving forward,” the release said.
“The Federation remains committed to ensuring continuity and stability within the national team programme while preparations continue for upcoming international competitions.
“The SVGFF thanks Coach Hendrickson for his contributions to football in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and wishes him every success in his future professional endeavours.”
